Where is permissions tab?

more options

I'm trying to block popups. I go to 'privacy and security' under options, as directed by FF, but 'permissions', the tab needed to block popups, is nowhere to be found. I've confirmed I have the latest version.

Hi mamumber, on this site, you usually can find the original poster's Firefox version in the "Question Details" section to the right of the question. Then you can tailor your screenshots or directions accordingly.

(It seems your screenshot is from Firefox 55 or earlier.)
